WEBVTT 00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.200 welcome to another episode of how to here on lineus Tech tips today we'll be 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.080 doing something that's a little bit more complicated but we'll give you a truly 00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:15.040 awesome results if it is done correctly what I'm talking about is streaming 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:19.520 mixed reality footage what's that well if you have a VR headset such as the HTC 00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:23.400 Vive that we have here in the office you can actually stream footage of yourself 00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:28.080 doing things in a virtual game environment so to the viewer it will 00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:33.079 look like you're walking around in a Fantastical World instead of just your 00:00:30.599 --> 00:00:41.519 living room it does this by transposing the in-game environment onto a green 00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:51.480 screen cooler Master's new master keys Pro L and pro s keyboards feature 16.7 00:00:49.239 --> 00:00:55.440 million color RGB back lighting genuine Cherry MX switches and an 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:59.079 industry-leading ARM cortex processor learn more at the link in the video 00:00:56.879 --> 00:01:03.760 description today we'll be showing you how to do this in fantastic Contraption 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:07.560 a game from Northway games we'd also like to take this opportunity to give 00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:12.159 Northway a shout out as we base this guide on the mixed reality information 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.880 that they provided on their website you can find a link in the video description 00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:21.079 down below all you need to get started other than a VR headset and a gaming rig 00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:25.759 is a green screen an HDMI camcorder and either an internal or external capture 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:30.600 card with an HDMI port we'll be using an a media live gamer portable in our 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.159 demonstration today also make sure you have an HDMI cord long enough to reach 00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:38.520 from your capture card to your camcorder as this will allow you to move your 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.200 camcorder to different places around the room so that you can adjust how your 00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.640 stream will end up looking this is especially important if you're getting a 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:50.360 friend to act as a camera person instead of just putting your camera on a tripod 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.240 to get started go ahead and set up your HTC Vive according to the manufacturer's 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.840 instructions then get your capture card installed although external capture 00:01:57.320 --> 00:02:03.719 cards are generally connected with a simple USB cord there are also internal 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:08.319 capture cards that slot into a PCI Express 1X slot if you'd like to keep 00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.160 things a little bit tidier after you've gotten your Vive and your capture card 00:02:09.959 --> 00:02:16.400 ready go ahead and start setting up your green screen green screens come in lots 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:20.920 of different sizes so you want to get something that can surround your play 00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:24.560 area on at least two sides as well as something to cover the floor green 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.640 screen fabric actually works pretty well for this and it's not that bad to adjust 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:32.040 but you will need something to hang it on make sure your lighting is adequate 00:02:29.519 --> 00:02:36.280 as well well generally bright light is better as it will allow your camera and 00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:39.760 your software to more easily separate the green screen from everything else 00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:45.959 next you'll want to set up your camcorder if you don't have one don't worry about buying something super 00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:51.280 expensive as realistic effects can be achieved with many fairly inexpensive 00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.800 models such as a Sony handicam just make 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.680 sure you aren't using something like a webcam or a phone camera as it probably 00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:00.200 won't be good enough place your camera in a spot that will capture as much of 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:04.959 the play area as possible possible without placing areas outside of your 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:08.440 green screen setup in the frame you don't want to have your stream or 00:03:06.720 --> 00:03:14.120 recording ruined because it looks like some far away world is directly bordered 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:18.360 by your living room couch connect your camera to your capture card's HDMI input 00:03:16.519 --> 00:03:23.360 and you're ready to go at least on the hardware side next is the software setup 00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:27.120 not all games support mixed reality but the Vive does have a number of games in 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:32.159 its library that do such as fantastic Contraption which has a setting that 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.959 enables multiple virtual cameras within the game this allows your capture 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:42.280 software to use depth information to combine the VR graphics and the feed 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.360 from your real life camcorder accurately 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:49.080 just open the settings menu in game make sure toggle depth camera is checked and 00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:53.120 enter all zeros in the field labeled foreground color key you'll need to set 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:57.760 up your capture software next which can be a little bit more complicated as it 00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:02.599 needs to combine three layers the game foreground The Game background and the 00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:08.959 feed from your camcorder we're going to use open broadcasting software or OBS 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:14.519 download install it open it then hit the plus sign underneath sources and pick 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:19.600 window capture name this layer VR background and select fantastic 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.240 Contraption turn off cursor capture then enter the correct streaming resolution 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:28.120 for fantastic Contraption since the depth camera option splits the screen 00:04:25.320 --> 00:04:31.120 into four quadrants you can only stream at one quarter of your computer 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:37.080 computer's resolution so if you're running a monitor at 1080p you'll need 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.039 to enter a resolution of 960x 540 but if 00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:43.800 you have a 4K display you can stream at 1920 by 1080 once you've done this make 00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:49.120 sure that you grab the corner of the layer and expand it to fill the entire 00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:51.720 canvas next under sources add the webcam 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:55.800 layer by picking video capture device and then name it camcorder or honestly 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:59.960 whatever you'd like fill the whole cameras with the camera layer like you 00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:04.520 did in the previous step then select color key under effects filters so that 00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:09.240 your computer will process the green screen properly play with the similarity 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:13.600 and smoothness settings until things look good the last layer is the VR 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.720 foreground which you should now add by following a similar procedure to the 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:23.400 background however this time deselect the capture any full screen application 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.800 option and select allow transparency 00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:31.160 make sure again to deselect capture cursor to enter a proper resolution and 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:35.039 to expand the layer to fill up the canvas the last step is to sync up your 00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.680 camcorder with what's going on in the game make sure both the game and OBS are 00:05:37.479 --> 00:05:45.759 open then adjust the virtual camera with the w a s d q and E keys this is a lot 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:50.840 easier if you can get a friend to stand in the play area with the controllers in 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:55.759 hand so you'll have a point of reference but this can be done by just placing the 00:05:53.080 --> 00:05:59.759 controllers on something as well this will allow you to match up the in-game 00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:04.000 camera system and your camcorder precisely so that the stream will look 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:09.039 realistic also be sure to adjust the feel the view settings by dragging the 00:06:06.280 --> 00:06:13.479 third person fov slider in the in-game settings until the in-game virtual 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:17.440 controllers match up with wherever your friend is holding the real ones however 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:21.199 if you want to use a moving camera you can do this by taping a third Vive 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:25.800 controller to your camcorder which will cause the game to track its position 00:06:23.440 --> 00:06:30.800 making for an even more interesting visual presentation just select handheld 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:35.440 mode in the in-game settings menu and sync the cameras using the previous 00:06:32.599 --> 00:06:38.840 steps so after you've done all of this you're finally ready to stream or record 00:06:37.599 --> 00:06:42.280 or whatever you want to do although there are a lot of steps involved the 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:47.000 result should make it look like you're firmly in the middle of a virtual world 00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:50.199 it won't look exactly James Cameron like but you will be able to give your 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.240 viewers a really cool experience that can set your channel apart don't stop 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.560 don't stop don't stop oh my God I just killed the cat 00:06:55.479 --> 00:07:01.080 what
